Good work. I'm copying Roberto on this, since it sounds like this will need a configuration change on the SourceForge side. Also, I wonder if it would be worth submitting a patch for Apache. It looks like they have the other content types used by OpenOffice, but not oxt files: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/httpd/httpd/trunk/docs/conf/mime.types -Rob > $ wget http://extensions.openoffice.org/e-files/874/29/oracle-pdfimport.oxt > Posizione: > http://ignum.dl.sourceforge.net/project/aoo-extensions/874/29/oracle-pdfimport.oxt > [segue] > Lunghezza: 4899523 (4,7M) [application/vnd.openofficeorg.extension] > > $ wget http://extensions.openoffice.org/e-files/874/29/oracle-pdfimport.oxt > Posizione: > http://garr.dl.sourceforge.net/project/aoo-extensions/874/29/oracle-pdfimport.oxt > [segue] > Lunghezza: 4899523 (4,7M) [application/octet-stream] > > $ wget http://extensions.openoffice.org/e-files/874/29/oracle-pdfimport.oxt > Posizione: > http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/project/aoo-extensions/874/29/oracle-pdfimport.oxt > [segue] > Lunghezza: 4899523 (4,7M) [application/octet-stream] > > $ wget http://extensions.openoffice.org/e-files/874/29/oracle-pdfimport.oxt > Posizione: > http://dfn.dl.sourceforge.net/project/aoo-extensions/874/29/oracle-pdfimport.oxt > [segue] > Lunghezza: 4899523 (4,7M) [application/octet-stream] > > $ wget http://extensions.openoffice.org/e-files/874/29/oracle-pdfimport.oxt > Posizione: > http://freefr.dl.sourceforge.net/project/aoo-extensions/874/29/oracle-pdfimport.oxt > [segue] > Lunghezza: 4899523 (4,7M) [application/vnd.openofficeorg.extension] > > MIME types are defined at the web server level, so the configuration for > each mirror is probably responsible for this difference.
